    Really nice and tasteful playing. A nice combination of old time and Scottish feel to those variations. When the world returns to normal I will look out for the Fountaineers next time I pass through Glasgow.

    Great performance of a great tune. It also should be said that Eastman is making really good mandolins.
    Josh proves it.

    Thanks for posting!

    Very nice! That is probably the best sounding Eastman I've ever heard! I played some older ones when they first came out and they were rea dogs! That one is splendid, great tone and volume right there!

    I just wanted to say that I obtained the transcription collection and it’s keeping me playing during isolation! Lots of fun and it’s doable with practice.
